It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Dubai Capitals, who come out marginally ahead at 54%.
They also have the upper hand over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, winning 8 of the 10 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. That said, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have the better recent form (two wins from their last five games, to one from five for Dubai Capitals), which is why this is far from a sure thing.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 150, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
